Explanation

Active is the direct opposite of passive, describing someone or something that takes initiative, acts energetically, or participates rather than remaining inactive or receptive. The other options (agitated, quiet, inert) are not true antonyms; agitated suggests anxiety, quiet means silence, and inert means inactive but not necessarily passive in behavior.
